    SINGAPORE’S largest bank DBS is cutting the variable pay of its management committee, including chief executive Piyush Gupta, as its members take accountability for the bank’s digital disruptions in 2023.

    Variable pay of the group management committee is collectively reduced by 21 per cent, while Gupta will take a deeper cut of 30 per cent, the bank said in its fourth-quarter results release on Wednesday (Feb 7).

    This means that Gupta’s variable pay for 2023 will be slashed by S$4.14 million to S$9.66 million.
